Understanding the Histogram

The full article is here

This post is mostly for my students; but anyone can benefit from this excellent explanation of reading and understanding a histogram. After teaching students how to understand and use their cameras histogram from a couple of textbooks I think that this is as easy of an explanation as I have ever seen. This article simply, yet truly, "explains" in a way that the average photographer can understand, what is going on with a histogram.

If you are not 100% solid on how to use and understand your cameras histogram give this article a read.
